I will miss being able to keep up with Mary Travers through PBS. It was great that every once in a while she would reappear there for me after I’d come to love her when PP&M began. My father was a folk singer, and I loved a spirited, polished performance. Mary always gave this to so many.

I grew up with Peter, Paul and Mary. My sister and I and a male friend of ours sang folk music with our guitars at the VA Hospital in Atlanta for the returning Viet Nam Vets and we sang all of Peter, Paul and Mary’s songs. I will miss this elegant beatiful lady so very much! Thank you PBS for all of the programs you have aired on these talented oh so inspiring passion filled, one of a kind folk singers! Rita

I feel as though I have lost a friend. I drive the Amish in north central Ohio as a living, and they just LOVE Peter, Paul, and Mary…for some reason, the Boa Constrictor song is a favorite. That’s not the only one, though…Right Field, The Wonderful Toy, This Land,…so many others. My Amish friends are so sad about Mary’s passing. As am I.

Mary Carlson Says:

I am so sad with the passing of Mary. I sincerely looked forward to their next performance or their next album. She will be truly missed. Having grown up from the begining of their careers to now, I feel as though a true friend and someone who believed as I do has passed. She truly stood up for justice and equality.

I am deeply sadend by the passing of Mary. They are the first musical group that I fell in love with at the age of 8 years old now 24 years old. I went to see them perform live in CHICAGO from 1993-2006, special thanks to my dad for all of the drives in the car. I am deeply grateful to have been able to see PPM live a total of 10 concerts, gotten backstage passes met PP&M personally picture taken w/Peter condid pictures with Noel and Mary. A signed autograph from Mary. A lot of great memories. I wanted to ask a question to PBS: would you please consider AIRING the 4 PBS specials again or at least one of them:
PETER PAUL AND MOMMY TOO and OR 25th Aniversery??
Please send me an e-mail and let me know what you can do. Mary Travers will greatly be missed by all fans. Many prayers go out to Marys friends and family. I wrote to Noel on MYSPACE. She stood for peace justice and equality FAUGHT so much for justice. We miss you Mary:1936-2009

While I am slightly younger than the average Peter, Paul and Mary fan,this precious trio has
been one of the great influences in my life. They “sang” at my wedding and lulled my babies to sleep each night; my children have been raised on Peter, Paul and Mary. They have taught our family about peace, purpose, and compassion, and I believe our world is better because of the three of them.
Mary Travers will be so missed, but thankfully will continue to bring her beautiful harmony to my family and the world she has worked to change.

I am especially said about Mary Travers passing away, as her songs accompanied a unique love story between a young European lady (myself) and a wonderful man from California some thirty years ago! We did not spend our lives together in the end, but the love is still unique.

Roberta Carr Says:

I was fortunate to have attended Peter, Paul and Mary’s concert at the Palace Theater in Waterbury, Connecticut last March, presumably one of their last together. The performance brought back memories of my college days in the peace-seeking 1960’s, complete with political and social commentary, nostalgia, fun and great appeal to the now “grown-up” audience. Especially notable was Mary’s onstage appearance, breathing apparatus and all, displaying her courage and still strong voice. She will be missed.
